Eliminate Master/Slave combination problems
Master/slave problems may exist between two IDE drives of different brands at-
tached to a single cable. For both compatibility and better performance, choose
drives of the same model/brand and install them on separate cables. Refer to the
Drive Setup by Connector chart in Chapter 4 for more recommended drive place-
ments.
Freeing additional IRQ resources
Since the Promise card supports PCI Interrupt sharing, it is possible to use IRQs
already assigned to another PCI card. Interrupt Sharing is not supported with onboard
IDE controllers. If the onboard IDE controller(s) are not used, you may disable the
controllers to free IRQ 14 and/or 15.
